Produktbeschreibung
A maid of Brittany: A romance delves into the collision between inherited obligation and personal conscience in a time defined by suspicion and shifting alliances. The story unfolds in a land fragmented by war and loyalty, where justice is often shaped by fear and reputation. It explores how compassion becomes resistance in a culture where duty can obscure truth. Through a setting charged with uncertainty and the tensions of cross-border enmity, it portrays how one individual's sense of right can challenge the assumptions of those around her. The novel reflects on the role of women in navigating decisions that carry both emotional and political weight, where allegiance to family and tradition must contend with the quiet assertion of personal conviction. It reveals how trust and honor may not always follow familiar lines, and how love and understanding can emerge amid violence and distrust. The narrative questions who has the right to define guilt and how quickly justice becomes vengeance in times of unrest. It is ultimately a meditation on courage not born of arms, but of insight and resolve.
